The Issue

Families across our community make sacrifices each week so their children can participate in ice sports and recreation. A local ice rink would reduce travel, create more opportunities for children, strengthen community connections, and give families more time together. Sign the petition today and help support a stronger future for District of Kent families.

Our children deserve a place where their dreams can glide and soar. An ice rink in the District of Kent is not just a recreational facility; it's an investment in our community's future. Currently, parents are spending countless hours and effort traveling to distant towns for ice sports and recreational activities. This not only puts a strain on family time but also increases costs for transportation and accommodations.

According to a study by the Sports and Fitness Industry Association, participation in ice sports can lead to improved mental health, better physical fitness, and more teamwork skills. Our young ones are missing out on these benefits because of the lack of facilities. An accessible local ice rink would open new doors for our children, allowing them to train, learn, and develop skills right here in our own district.

Moreover, a community ice rink can become a hub of activity, where families gather to enjoy skating, hockey, and other ice sports together. This helps in fostering strong community ties and a sense of belonging among residents. It also provides adults a chance to engage in recreational activities, improving their health and well-being.

Let's not forget the economic benefits of having an ice rink. It would create jobs, attract visitors, and boost local businesses. The success stories of towns with community rinks show increased tourism and improved infrastructure.

We call upon local government officials to listen to the voices of District of Kent residents. We ask you to allocate funds and resources towards building a community ice rink. With your support, our dreams of an inclusive, vibrant, and active community can become a reality.

Join us in taking a stand for our children and our community. Sign the petition today and make the dream of a community ice rink in the District of Kent come true. Together, we can build a community that's stronger, healthier, and more connected.
